herrons. gorgeous for sunrise. sometimes you forget how beautiful the anacostia is, too. let's do the forecast for you. there you go, you can see one of the blue herrons flying out there in the distance. bus stop forecast jacket certainly this morning. temperatures in the 40's and 50's. we're 60 here in the city. look what happens after school. sunshine, bright, beautiful and warm. daytime highs in the low 80's so it's going to be just a gorgeous afternoon. current numbers, let's do it. we're looking at 60 in wash, 53 in gaithersburg. 57 in quantico. it's a cool start as has been the case the last couple mornings. the sun is getting up and we should be back in the low 80's later this afternoon. satellite and radar is featuring quiet conditions. there's a front off to the north and west. that will bring us a few clouds today but it's not going to get chance to get through here. that rain you see out to the west won't get in here any time soon. i think it will be the end of the weekend probably late sunday early monday f before we

the next storm is up. this looks to become nate. it's td number 16 but watch the track here over the next couple of days. it looks like it becomes a hurricane, at least that's the official forecast as it tracks up into the northern gulf and perhaps gets close to new orleans or the western panhandle of florida there by next week. the weekend early- some of this moisture will likely make it up into the midatlantic by next monday and tuesday. there you can see that eventually that moisture gets up here. we'll get needed rain early next week associated with what happens with what looks to become nate later today or perhaps tonight. seven-day forecast, more sunshine, more heat as well, temperatures in the 80's. looks great for baseball both tomorrow and saturday and then we'll look for some rain showers perhaps associated with nate by the end of the weekend. all right, again, down here on the anacostia beautiful this morning. sorry we're not doing memes. i know you're upset about that erin but i promise we'll get back to them soon. i got some work i got to do on an coul

>> you work hard but i know i always look for the morning meme 'cause i'm always dealing with bad traffic. >> you got it. >> this will impact a lot of commuters. an hour from the beltway to the 14th street bridge. a crash involving a motorcycle involving all but the right lane. one right lane gets by right now. i would avoid the 14th street bridge if possible because 395 is literally a parking lot in the main lanes leading up to that location because again just the one right lane gets by. you know what that looks like when all lanes are opened. a lot of big problems out there. we have skyfox over 270 southbound as well. we're seeing a lot of backups there. about a 30 minute slowdown from 121 to the beltway. aside from that one, big delays 95 northbound holding strong this morning. we had an earlier crash by franconia-springfield parkway. that's since moved to the shoulder. but by fairfax county parkway all the main lanes still pretty jammed up. it's going to take you 56 minutes to get from dale city to the beltway. south that of point you're jamming from fredericksburg into stafford. just a lot of heavy traffic. hov lanes are okay it's

main lanes crawling along this morning. route one northbound dealing with a lot of bailout traffic. aside from that one as you make your way out in virginia, we do have a eastbound crash on 50. it's approaching allen street involving a dump truck. seeing some delays there. aside from that one if you're skipping the roads and taking the rails all of our metro rail lines are on time so that's really good news for your morning commute. metrobus is in the district backing up a bit because of some heavier congestion. 395 northbound is seeing the worst of it because of that crash on the 14th street bridge and the outer loop out by new hampshire avenue an earlier medical emergency cleared. typical delays 95 in college park over to the 270 spur. we'll take a look at 66 next. back to you guys. >> still to come on good day d.c. today, make sure you keep watching at 9 o'clock because we have another jam packed show for you. we're going to chat with the cast of the new hit play momma's boy. now you know jackie harry, nephew tommy all going to be with us today. >> wow. >> right. >> we will also -- >> a show in itself. >> i know. we wl

athlete abby wambach who is getting tough with natural turf. that and much more ahead from 9:00 to 11:00 on good day d.c. what a show. >> and of course kevin mccarthy always a part of it. he's here with today's fox beat. >> good morning, steve and allison. >> good morning. >> we'll start off with some serious notes and then we'll get to the some more fun elements. >> sadly we have to do that a lot. >> i know, it's been crazy this week obviously but brittany aldean, jason aldean has wife has post add very heart felt message. we have the photo of her instagram and she talks about the idea of just being there that evening and what it was like and obviously running toward -- not being able to be with her husband at that exact moment. this is the exact instagram right here. it's been hard to process what happened the other night. still feel like i'm in a daze. first and foremost thank you to the first responder that is amazed me at the time and still continues to these people completely put everyone else's lives before there's and we are all forever

not with jason but with some friends in a tent closer to the mandalay. as you can imagine my first instinct was to run to him and his was the same and she goes on to say as we laid behind the equipment on stage with some of our road family bullets flying past all i could think was i never get to hold my baby and she put obviously a heart and it's a very -- obviously a very emotional post but i think it was great that she posted that. it obviously showed just the kind of behind the scenes element of what she was going. >> her humanity. they're celebrities but they're real people just like everybody else. >> if you saw the show earlier this week jason did cancel his weekend concerts out of respect for the victims and i think he'll pick it back up next week i think in oklahoma. moving on now in a similar story obviously with the las vegas tragedy, the punisher is a show on netflix a very heavily violent gun show

new york comicon panel because of the events in vegas. the actual statement says we are stunned and saddened by this week's senseless act in las vegas and the netflix also said that after careful consideration, net flex and marvel have decided it wouldn't be appropriate for marvel's the punisher to participate in the new york comicon and essentially went on saying our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the victims and those affected by this tragedy. >> that's an interesting one because they also could take that opportunity to talk about real life and the difference between what's happening on television and that. >> yeah. >> and how either -- you know, the impact that could have on real life or real life impact have on movies. >> but even if you watch that trailer, i was just watching it before i came up here because we had to edit a clean part of it out, it's extremely violent, lots of gun violence. >> that's what i mean. i understand not showing it.

>> yeah. >> out of sensitivity but they could still talk about it. >> sure. no, i understand that. and i think that this conversation we're having right now being that the show's panel is canceled is actually a good talker so i think it's interesting they've now put that out there saying that we understand and respect the victims and we don't want to glorify this show at the moment. >> all right. >> moving on now, blade runner is coming out tomorrow harrison ford ryan gosling. i'm very excited about this. we have video of the actual trailer but this is 30 years later in the story. if you saw the first blade runner in 1982, the big question in that movie was whether or not harrison ford's character was a replicate and what that means a replicate is essentially an android, someone who is created. >> like steve. >> exactly. so, i spoke to harrison ford about whether or not it was complicated for him to play a role where you don't know if you're a human or an android. watch this. >> was that complicated to become a character that you're

not a hundred percent sure what it is. >> no, i was a hundred percent sure and i pursued my understanding. and -- and. [laughter] and still, you know, we're still talking about it usually trying to hold off until the second or third drink. >> yeah. >> but, you know, it's -- it's a question for the -- for the audience to ask. my -- you know, my feelings are on record about the first one. you know what it comes down, its a movie. it doesn't matter. it..., what matters is that it's an engaging question. >> that's what i love. >> and i'd rather -- you know, i'd rather have great questions than great answers. >> and one of the things that's so confronting about the original is that there real is no difference. the only difference is how they're made. >> yeah. >> and so it makes you sort of -- you know, it's not like

a.i. they're biologically identical, they're just made as harrison likes to say, they're not made in the fun way and that's it. >> so, if you've seen the original blade runner that's the big question because harrison ford's character falls in love with a replicate. that question may or may not be answered tomorrow. >> how does ryan gosling dance on top of a car in the movie. >> no, he does not. no "la-la land" sequences in that film. the movie is a masterpiece. >> i've actually seen fantastic reviews. awesome. >> we'll talk more about it coming up. >> cool. >> gary he had to at least think for a second. >> that was good. it was a good question actually, too, steve. great reply. >> thank you very much. >> yeah. temperatures out there this morning, we're in the 50's and the 60's, couple of 40's out there as well. you can see them around now. culpeper is 46. look, we warm up today. it's going to be real, real nice. a little

temperatures in the middle 80's. erin como, it's your turn. >> gary, r right now, 6:56. worst of the morning commute on 395. a crash involving a motorcycle on the northbound side of the 14th street bridge. they have reopened a second lane so right now two lanes getting by but the left lanes remain blocked. you can see traffic is parked. it's going to take you an hour and 14 minutes to get from the beltway to across the bridge. you may want to find an alternate this morning. 395 main lanes turning into a parking lot because of that. keep it to fox5 news morning. we're going to take a look at 270, a crash by middlebrook road next. >> ♪ >> ♪♪
